Find out if you can get temporary work elsewhere during downtime

The budding nature and the rising sun do not wake up all workers in the mornings, and many Lithuanian workers are unable to travel to work due to quarantine restrictions, and have to be content with further downtime. „Temporarily take a job elsewhere“ is a thought that occurs to many.

On the other hand, the summer season is increasing the demand for seasonal workers. The decision to recruit temporary workers through a temporary staffing agency is becoming increasingly popular. In this way, companies save a lot of time and money by not having to deal with a lot of bureaucracy and using their own internal company resources.

When there are uncertainties about whether workers who have a workplace and are out of work can temporarily work elsewhere, we spoke to a representative of Retiva, a promising and fast-growing company:
„People can choose to find temporary employment in another job during downtimes, and we as a recruitment agency can help them find temporary work,“ said Sandra N., Head of the Lithuanian branch of Retiva.

„The head of the Retiva division is echoed by the national labour inspectorate notifying: „During a period of downtime in one workplace, a worker can take up a job in another workplace. There is no legal prohibition on working in several jobs, but it is important to comply with the minimum rest time and maximum working time requirements.“
Therefore, to answer your question, we can tell you that you are allowed to work elsewhere.

To help workers who are down or unable to find a new job, Retiva offers a wide range of job opportunities. Everyone is sure to find their next career stop. In addition, the company offers bonuses, one of which is a €50 voucher for shopping if the employee doesn't miss a day of work per month.
